Original Post:
I need a small, free operating system that will play music and a dvd or 2.... it needs to be simple, networkable and simple enuff to use a wireless mouse with no keyboard!

My system specs are: P400 Celeron, 64 MB RAM, Rage 128 ATI...

TIA!

Now:

If anyone canhelp - im looking for a:

PCI riser (only if box isnt tall enough - can cut metal off network card if needed!)
Cheap as chips 10/100 network card
VGA -> S/video or RGB adapter (not a card) - a guide on how to make one...?
An (Old) DVD drive - 4x one will do!
A box to put it all in - something cheap - but i dont want a PC case

The catch - ive got tenner to spend, and thats all - but i have got swaps!!
